Discuss the comments:








"This hysterical clip shows us very clearly how important it is to LISTEN when women talk and not try to solve their problems!!!! LOL!"













"The way men and women communicate with each other is very different. Men want to fix things. Women need to be heard. Men need to watch this."














"Don't try to fix it. I just need you to listen." Every man has heard these words. And they are the law of the land. No matter what."
